" It is the truth of knowledge that isGnana - Vignana.
It helps in anticipating and predicting
the events of life."

Termed as Hora Sastra in Sanskrit,
Jyotish literally means 'Knowledge of Light'. The word
Astrology has been derived from the word - Aster
meaning a Star, & Logy
meaning Study.

It may also be defined as the Philosophy
of Discovering and analysing past impulses and future actions of
both individuals and nations in the light of Planetary Configurations.
It is the Science of Correlation of Astronomical facts with terrestrial
events. Astrology is primarily concerned with the application of
Celestial phenomena to terrestrial phenomena in general and man
in particular.

The rationale of astrology is planetary
motions and their corresponding effects on all animate and inanimate
objects and their responses to these motions and positions perceived
and observed for the last thousands of years systematized and brought
under general principles of astrology.
